6. Available Therapies
The device delivers the following therapies:
CPAP – Delivers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; CPAP maintains a constant level of
pressure throughout the breathing cycle. If your health care professional has prescribed
ramp for you, you can turn the Knob to reduce the pressure and then gradually
increase the pressure to the therapeutic pressure setting so that you can fall asleep more
comfortably.
AutoCPAP – Delivers CPAP therapy and provides an air pressure no less than the prescribed
one based on the patient’s needs.
S – A bi-level mode which responds to both your inhalation and exhalation by increasing
pressure when you start to inhale and decreasing pressure when you start to exhale. There is
no automatic delivery of a breath you do not inhale. IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway
Pressure) and EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) are preset by home care provider.
AutoS – A bi-level mode which responds to both your inhalation and exhalation. The
differential pressure of IPAP and EPAP are presetted by home care provider. While working in
auto feature, the device will automatically adjust the IPAP and EPAP if it detects a sleep
apnea.
T – A bi-level mode which the device automatically starts inhalation and exhalation,
automatically controls the time of inhalation and that of exhalation according to the preset
parameter.
S/T – A bi-level mode which responds to both your inhalation and exhalation by increasing
pressure when you start to inhale and decreasing pressure when you start to exhale. If you
do not start inhaling within a set time, the device automatically starts inhalation. When the
device starts inhalation, it controls the time of inhalation and automatically decreases the
pressure for exhalation within a set time.

7. Glossary
Apnea
A condition marked by the cessation of spontaneous breathing.
AutoCPAP
Adjust CPAP pressure automatically to improve patient comfort based on monitoring of sleep
events, such as apnea, hypopnea etc.
Auto Off
When this feature is enabled, the device automatically discontinues therapy whenever the
mask is removed.
Auto On
With this feature, the device automatically initiates therapy when you breathe into the mask.
This feature is always enabled.
SmartC
With this feature, the device adjusts Treat P according to the patient's respiratory event
during a certain time.
SmartA

respiratory event during a certain time.
SmartB
With this feature, the device adjusts Ramp P and Min APAP according to the patient's
respiratory event during a certain time.
ASV
Under S/T mode, ASV function can be set to be ASV, ASV Auto and Off. If this function is set
to be ASV, the device will predict the minute ventilation according to the real-time collected
air flow data, and adjust the IPAP according to the minute ventilation.
ASV Auto
Under S/T mode, ASV function can be set to be ASV, ASV Auto and Off. If this function is set
to be ASV Auto, while achieving the ASV function, the respiratory events will be judged and
the EPAP will be adjusted according to the respiratory events.
CPAP
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.
EPAP
Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure.
IPAP
Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure.
